Shared at a tasting, small stable creamy bubbly head, clear lightish brown color, aroma of bread and caramel with a hint of straw, sweetish caramel and cola flavor with a nutty hint, light bitterness, light fruity sourness. Fair and drinkable, not too bad.

50cl can (pre-order) on AirBaltic flight to Riga. Pours caramel coloured with an off-white head. Grainy aroma with notes of caramel and hints of metal and spices. Fairly sweet with mild flavours and just a hint of bitterness. Does remind me a bit of the Norwegian shop strength Christmas beers. Not the worst beer that I’ve had on a plane, but certainly not anything to write home about or recommend, except maybe on a plane to pass the time. I think I will enjoy my Borjomi more, that is at least refreshing. ("Enjoyed" 11 days before best before date at BT154 somewhere over Sweden.)

0,5 l can brought to me from Latvia. There was a picture of a full pint painted on the can - and I only understood the reason when I tried to open it. This can opens wide and it is supposed to feel like drinking from a pint-glass. Neat idea! Beer itself is clear, slightly amber. Small head is gone after a couple of seconds. There is not much aroma to talk about, slight hint of small malt and watermelon. Taste is better, first not so interesting, almost no character at all but it develops soon into a nice bitter aftertaste. Overall this is actually better than I was expecting, would be nice to drink it outside on a warm summer day.

Small beige head. Clear pale amber body with light carbonation. Mealy oily alcoholic aroma with vegetable notes. Sweetish mealy oily taste with vegetable notes. Mid-bodied. Flat, slightly slick mouthfeel. Dryish minty oily vegetable aftertaste. Unclean, oily, slightly unpleasant. A weird beer. (0.5l can, from Stockmann, Riga.)
